After the Hurricanes stormed back from an early 12-point deficit to tie the game at 23 apiece, the UNC went on a 13-0 run to take back control. The upperclassmen lead UNC as Deon Thompson has eight points, Marcus Ginyard has six and Will Graves also has six on a pair of 3-pointers.
Guard Durant Scott has 13 for Miami, who has got off to a quick start on the fast break but has shot only 31 percent for the half.
